bonding: unset primary slave via sysfs

2013-01-29T20:43:35+00:00

When bonding module is loaded with primary parameter and one decides to unset
primary slave using sysfs these settings are not preserved during bond device
restart. Primary slave is only unset once and it's not remembered in
bond->params structure. Below is example of recreation.

 grep OPTS /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0
BONDING_OPTS="mode=active-backup miimon=100 primary=eth01"
 grep "Primary Slave" /proc/net/bonding/bond0
Primary Slave: eth01 (primary_reselect always)

 echo "" > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/primary
 grep "Primary Slave" /proc/net/bonding/bond0
Primary Slave: None

 sed -i -e 's/primary=eth01//' /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0
 grep OPTS /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond
BONDING_OPTS="mode=active-backup miimon=100 "
 ifdown bond0 && ifup bond0

without patch:
 grep "Primary Slave" /proc/net/bonding/bond0
Primary Slave: eth01 (primary_reselect always)

with patch:
 grep "Primary Slave" /proc/net/bonding/bond0
Primary Slave: None

bonding: do not cancel works in bond_uninit()

2012-12-14T18:14:07+00:00

Bonding initializes these works in bond_open() and cancels in bond_close(),
thus in bond_uninit() they are already canceled but may be unitialized yet.

bonding: delete migrated IP addresses from the rlb hash table

2012-11-30T17:07:27+00:00

Bonding in balance-alb mode records information from ARP packets
passing through the bond in a hash table (rx_hashtbl).

At certain situations (e.g. link change of a slave),
rlb_update_rx_clients() will send out ARP packets to update ARP
caches of other hosts on the network to achieve RX load
balancing.

The problem is that once an IP address is recorded in the hash
table, it stays there indefinitely. If this IP address is
migrated to a different host in the network, bonding still sends
out ARP packets that poison other systems' ARP caches with
invalid information.

This patch solves this by looking at all incoming ARP packets,
and checking if the source IP address is one of the source
addresses stored in the rx_hashtbl. If it is, but the MAC
addresses differ, the corresponding hash table entries are
removed. Thus, when an IP address is migrated, the first ARP
broadcast by its new owner will purge the offending entries of
rx_hashtbl.

The hash table is hashed by ip_dst. To be able to do the above
check efficiently (not walking the whole hash table), we need a
reverse mapping (by ip_src).

I added three new members in struct rlb_client_info:
   rx_hashtbl[x].src_first will point to the start of a list of
      entries for which hash(ip_src) == x.
   The list is linked with src_next and src_prev.

When an incoming ARP packet arrives at rlb_arp_recv()
rlb_purge_src_ip() can quickly walk only the entries on the
corresponding lists, i.e. the entries that are likely to contain
the offending IP address.

To avoid confusion, I renamed these existing fields of struct
rlb_client_info:
	next -> used_next
	prev -> used_prev
	rx_hashtbl_head -> rx_hashtbl_used_head

(The current linked list is _not_ a list of hash table
entries with colliding ip_dst. It's a list of entries that are
being used; its purpose is to avoid walking the whole hash table
when looking for used entries.)

bonding: rlb mode of bond should not alter ARP originating via bridge

2012-11-30T17:07:26+00:00

Do not modify or load balance ARP packets passing through balance-alb
mode (wherein the ARP did not originate locally, and arrived via a bridge).

Modifying pass-through ARP replies causes an incorrect MAC address
to be placed into the ARP packet, rendering peers unable to communicate
with the actual destination from which the ARP reply originated.

Load balancing pass-through ARP requests causes an entry to be
created for the peer in the rlb table, and bond_alb_monitor will
occasionally issue ARP updates to all peers in the table instrucing them
as to which MAC address they should communicate with; this occurs when
some event sets rx_ntt.  In the bridged case, however, the MAC address
used for the update would be the MAC of the slave, not the actual source
MAC of the originating destination.  This would render peers unable to
communicate with the destinations beyond the bridge.

bonding: fix race condition in bonding_store_slaves_active

2012-11-29T18:13:15+00:00

Race between bonding_store_slaves_active() and slave manipulation
 functions. The bond_for_each_slave use in bonding_store_slaves_active()
 is not protected by any synchronization mechanism.
 NULL pointer dereference is easy to reach.
 Fixed by acquiring the bond->lock for the slave walk.

2012-11-29T18:13:15+00:00

The module can be loaded with arp_ip_target="255.255.255.255" which makes
 it impossible to remove as the function in sysfs checks for that value,
 so we make the parameter checks consistent with sysfs.

bonding: fix miimon and arp_interval delayed work race conditions

2012-11-29T18:13:15+00:00

First I would give three observations which will be used later.
Observation 1: if (delayed_work_pending(wq)) cancel_delayed_work(wq)
 This usage is wrong because the pending bit is cleared just before the
 work's fn is executed and if the function re-arms itself we might end up
 with the work still running. It's safe to call cancel_delayed_work_sync()
 even if the work is not queued at all.
Observation 2: Use of INIT_DELAYED_WORK()
 Work needs to be initialized only once prior to (de/en)queueing.
Observation 3: IFF_UP is set only after ndo_open is called

Related race conditions:
1. Race between bonding_store_miimon() and bonding_store_arp_interval()
 Because of Obs.1 we can end up having both works enqueued.
2. Multiple races with INIT_DELAYED_WORK()
 Since the works are not protected by anything between INIT_DELAYED_WORK()
 and calls to (en/de)queue it is possible for races between the following
 functions:
 (races are also possible between the calls to INIT_DELAYED_WORK()
  and workqueue code)
 bonding_store_miimon() - bonding_store_arp_interval(), bond_close(),
			  bond_open(), enqueued functions
 bonding_store_arp_interval() - bonding_store_miimon(), bond_close(),
				bond_open(), enqueued functions
3. By Obs.1 we need to change bond_cancel_all()

Bugs 1 and 2 are fixed by moving all work initializations in bond_open
which by Obs. 2 and Obs. 3 and the fact that we make sure that all works
are cancelled in bond_close(), is guaranteed not to have any work
enqueued.
Also RTNL lock is now acquired in bonding_store_miimon/arp_interval so
they can't race with bond_close and bond_open. The opposing work is
cancelled only if the IFF_UP flag is set and it is cancelled
unconditionally. The opposing work is already cancelled if the interface
is down so no need to cancel it again. This way we don't need new
synchronizations for the bonding workqueue. These bugs (and fixes) are
tied together and belong in the same patch.
Note: I have left 1 line intentionally over 80 characters (84) because I
      didn't like how it looks broken down. If you'd prefer it otherwise,
      then simply break it.
